Gun Control Bill

[.blank cd]

1. - Eventually, new AR15's would not be able to be purchased by legal citizens, once stock had run out. These citizens have done nothing illegal, and the government's attempts to remove these items from them is suspect.

So, if the ban stopped the manufacture of the AR15 for civilian purposes, and all AR15s get sold out...
1. What happens to all the other AR15s already in circulation?
2. What happens to the manufacturers existing stock? Does the price go up or down?
3. Does that stop you from being able to defend yourself?

2. Absolutely. The most obvious one is to chip away at the availability of "highly capable weapons" - as you would put it.

Fair enough.

1. Previously sold AR15s would stay in circulation until they no longer worked, and parts were not available for them anymore, due to the ban on manufacturing and importation. Some might also end up out of legal circulation due to theft, fire, etc.

2. At the discussion of a possible ban, the price of existing stock has already risen. As supply availability to legal citizens decreases, prices should increase on what would be left.

3. It does not stop me from defending myself, as I do not own an assault style weapon. It does take away a possible tool of defense away from law abiding citizens though, and does not prevent criminals from obtaining them. This should have an impact in the future to put law abiding citizens at an increased risk of being unable to resist a criminal. Is that what you think that gun control should do?
